Impaired driving kills

On an average day, four Canadians are killed and 175 are injured in impairment-related crashes, according to MADD Canada. In Canada police can lay impaired driving charges under the Criminal Code if a driver’s blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.08 percent. Drivers in Ontario also face licence suspensions and fines if their BAC is between 0.05 percent and 0.08 percent. These roadside licence suspensions cannot be appealed and they are recorded on the driver’s record.

These are the consequences for driving with a 0.05 to 0.08 percent “Warn Range” BAC.
